The GeForce GTX 1070 is trading below its $379 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon R7 360 pulls less power (100W vs 150W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 1070 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Pascal architecture on a TSMC 16nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1070 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R7 360's 2GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R7 360 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 or Radeon R7 360?
The GeForce GTX 1070 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon R7 360 if you find it at a steep discount.
